I also really want a women's fiction dual narrative, ideally dual timeline as well. Although one or the other works (no time travel please) #MSWL

I'm always in @PublishersLunch checking up on latest deals. Sometimes they are my best #MSWL ideas.Like this: Young Adult Fiction: Lindsey Roth Culli's SAY YES SUMMER, about a girl who decides to just say yes to everything, --- I'd LOVE to see the women's fiction version #MSWL

What I liked about NEXT YEAR IN HAVANA was that it taught me about a time period & culture I knew little to nothing about. I loved the dual timelines & storylines. More of that please #MSWL

I would love more thrillers and suspense, #ownvoices and otherwise, & I'm always looking for mysteries #MSWL

So as you are waiting for the likes I suggest you also send out some queries. Make use of the time you are already online and hit agents directly. #querytipFor me, I'm looking for the next NEXT YEAR IN HAVANA, more #ownvoices, a #MeToo story, stories and #WF featuring moms. I'm only looking for new clients in adult right now. #MSWL

Give me settings outside of the United States too. #ownvoices set in India, Ireland, Indonesia... other countries too, but I was suddenly captivated by "I" #MSWL
Literary Agent
Everything I listed above in #ownvoices. I'm okay if it's not #ownvoices, but I would like more #diversebooks & #ownvoices across the board. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Stand-alone mysteries/suspense #MSWL
Literary Agent
I really like books about moms and cannot believe I really don't have books about moms. Women's fiction or domestic suspense #MSWL
Literary Agent
I'm always looking for domestic suspense, especially something #ownvoices & family-related (not just husband and wife) #MSWL

It seems like a good time to remind authors of my #MSWL. That way when I come back Tuesday I'll have plenty waiting for me.I would love to find a good beachy, women's fiction read. Something about friends, beaches, small towns, that sort of thing #MSWL
